Marriage is weighed down by so many expectations.
His rights, your rights, cultural norms, social pressure, mahr debates, Islamic rulings… how do you even begin the conversation without getting overwhelmed?
In this episode, Dr. Tesneem Alkiek and host Qaanitah Hunter unpack the topic of marriage through examples from the Seerah, showing how Islam gives us breathing room to approach marriage with calm and clarity.
Before Salahuddin could unite the Muslim world, earlier leaders had to address deep internal divisions.
When radical groups like the Qarmatians stole the Black Stone and extremist factions terrorized scholars, visionaries like Nizam al-Mulk responded by building institutions—the Nizamiyya schools—that would educate the generation of scholars who would guide leaders like Nur al-Din and Salahuddin.
This episode draws on leading historical works about Salahuddin and the revival that reshaped the Muslim world.
Too many of us underestimate what that rope actually is. It's the Qur'an and it's Sunnah. It's the covenant that turned enemies into brothers and made a fractured people stand shoulder-to-shoulder until their hearts matched their rows.
Every time life shakes, every time faith dips, every time drama pulls us into tribal loyalty or petty conflict, that rope is still there, steady, unchanged, waiting to be held.
Grab it with both hands. And don't let the noise around you convince you that the fall is worth the risk. Watch the full lecture with Dr. Omar Suleiman.
Our journal is where the discipline of tradition meets the urgency of the present—where the questions of faith, law, and culture are pressed into sharper focus and carried forward with attentiveness and depth.
